"I may not be the most experienced in the art of courtly love, but I am a Crane and I generally know what girls like," he commented casually, giving Tsuki a pointed look. "And as reluctant as I am to admit it, I try to be aware that all good things come to an end. Mono no aware. These things come and go... but is it wrong to want to enjoy something while you have it...?" He gave her a meek smile while his eyes were distant, wrapped up in warm, pleasant thoughts. He was smitten, that much Tsuki could see, but he was pragmatic too. A pity.

"No one said you shouldn't," Tsuki conceded to Isao. He seemed to like where he was, and she dare not press on the subject anymore. It seemed about the right time to move on, all things considered.
"So, you go running with this girl? Is that a daily thing you do with her? I don't think I've ever seen you on the track of the school, but I could have missed you two as well," She said with a smile.

"Ah, no, not on the track," he said with another nervous smile. "We go out on the town, running in the city. The urban sprawl is a lot more scenic than running around a track all evening."

"Oh?" Tsuki smiled at the man, "What area of the city do you run around? I actually know the city pretty well. I could suggest some other spots to run if your current scenery ever gets a bit dull."

Kami, damn it, Tsuki. You're digging pretty hard.
Isao smiled, putting on a naive mask.
"Oh, here and there. We went down to the park and ran the loop there the other night, then went for a jog downtown near the Doji Hotel plaza. I'm not sure where we're going next... she generally has places in mind," he mused with a small smile.

Tsuki tilted her head, trying to think of a few areas to run that might be good. "Well, maybe you could impress her with a few spots? There's an area over by the restaurants on Shichijo and Karasuma that has some good scenery. Plus, good smells," She said with a small laugh.
"If you go further south, over on Hotomichi and Tangasha, there's a path which looks splendid when the sun is setting," She mused aloud, before she stopped and offered Isao a smile "Well, you don't have to though. Whatever you feel works best."

"I'll keep it in mind, and trying to look at the routes on RokuMaps later," he considered. While Nomen was planning their next run, he thought he could plan the one after that. What was a better way to win a thrill seeker's heart than give her a thrill all her own?
"Order's ready!"
Isao looked back and grinned when their lunch was ready. The Crane jumped out of his seat and grabbed the two ramen bowls from the counter and brought them back to their table.
"Did you want anything to drink...?"

"Oolong tea would be nice, please," Tsuki called out from her seat. She could see the steam rising from the bowls and quickly went about to grabbing her chopsticks to eat with.

Oolong and green tea was brought out for them shortly after his order and once Isao sat back down with their ramen and tea at the table, he broke apart his chopsticks.
"Itadakimasu!"
The Crane then began to eat once Tsuki was ready. He slurped up his noodles with gusto, holding one hand in front of his mouth, and chewed them up to swallow. The ramen was as good as he claimed it to be - or rather, as good as the online reviews had claimed it to be. After his first bite into his dish, Isao asked, "So, what about you...? I can only imagine a girl as cute as you has her fair share of admirers, Tsuki-can."

Tsuki was quick to follow in giving thanks before digging in to her bowl. She plucked up an egg cut in half and drowning in broth and popped the tasty morsel into her mouth, a satisfied sigh escaping the young lady in the process.
Once she had a bite or two from her meal Tsuki glanced up to Isao. "Believe it or not, most don't actively go out of their way to admire me. Still, I have one I am aware of, if my intuition is right," She said to him with a soft smile.
